[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1780948, member: 75451"] If you can approximate your powder charge and your muzzle velocity, you can get an idea of ft/lbs recoil, recoil impulse ( lbs/sec), and recoil velocity (fps), using the following website. I realize that attempting to approximate some of the values is using the “SWAG” system....but if you can get some values then you can compare your results to some known values from cartridges/rifles your familiar with! Just as an example, my current hunting rifle has just over 60 ft/lbs recoil. If my hypothetical “new” rifle will produce more recoil than that....I know that 20 rounds per bench shooting session is about all that this “puss” wants to shoot! memtb [URL]http://www.shooterscalculator.com/recoil-calculator.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
